Abstract

Sub Theme: Life Long Learning and Skills Development for Sustainable Entrepreneurial Development. Objectives: To discuss about the difficulties in developing the entrepreneurial intention in unemployed youth in Indonesia. Theoretical Background/Previous Practice: This paper is based on my study about collective entrepreneurship at metropolitan city of Jakarta. This study was done in order to establish a financial independent of the unemployed youth in one of economical undeveloped area in Jakarta. In order to combat the poverty as well as the unemployment, the researcher was trying to equip the youth with the necessities of skills and equipment to become the new entrepreneurs. However, it was shown that in order to develop the entrepreneurial intention there are many factors should be considered and one of them is collective reinforcement, community and family supports as well as role modelling, and coaching. Approach/Methods: This study was done using an Action Research approach, involving 20 unemployed youths, and 10 key persons from the community. Results/Insights: The results show that it is not easy to develop new entrepreneurs. In this regard, although a person is unemployed and equipped with the life skills so that they can use it to help themselves to become financial independent, but it appears that their expectations are only in relation with finding jobs and become employee in the company. The statuses as employees are more prestige for them, and also they feel that they don’t have the guts and resilience to become entrepreneurs. Furthermore, it was also shown that the role of family, especially parents, key stake holders in the community, as well as role models are very important in influencing the intention and expectation of the youths. Implications: The future research is needed to study about the factors that can be used to develop and strengthen the entrepreneurial intentions for the unemployed youth. From the results, it can be concluded that family (especially parents), community, institutions and government bodies, should be involved in terms of developing entrepreneurial intentions in order to make the unemployed youth financially independent, and have different mindsets about entrepreneurs, as well as having other preferences not only would like to work as employees.
